Hi everyone
I have posted on here a few times but will explain my situation as brief as I can.
The FOB and I were engaged, he proposed in June and we started trying for a baby at that time as well. We conceived in July and were really happy.
Week 5-14 I had horrendous morning sickness and was really stressed and emotional as we were buying a house! When I was 13 weeks pregnant he decided to cancel the house we were buying, losing me over £1000 in fee money. He then left me saying "we're just not working and it's for the best". I don't know where this has come from and begged him to stay though he's nanny gave him a massive deposit for a new property and he bought that within 9 days of leaving me . He's done so much to me since then, it's like he hates me
Despite him leaving and not wanting me he still wants to be a father which is great. The only thing is he demanded joint custody which I said no to.
He got abusive and threatened to take me to court! He mocked me saying he has the money to do it (his nanny's money) and a stable home and I will just be a "skank" on benefits (I will have to accept benefits because my maternity pay will not cover rent/bills ect now that he's left...). I have made it clear he will have regular access and he knows I'm true to my word because my father walked out on me and I have always said men like that digust me... He has actually wrote publically on Facebook and spoke to mutual friends that he will get the baby 3-4 days a week as he has the money!! He takes the piss out of me saying that he knows I'll be fair but he wants more, "cos he f**king can"!!
I'm so heartbroken - I don't understand why he's doing this....
Mainly I'm so scared that he will get joint custody which would break me!! He's telling me he's gonna use in court that I am bulimic (he's referring to MS) also he's gonna use that I self harmed more than 10 years ago when I was in my teens and that I lashed out at the police when I was younger and it is on my record (I've been fine since, healthy, working and good person).
FOB: Has not paid a penny so far, does not contact me about the baby and says painful things that he knows will come back to me, claimed he's not the dad (he knows damn well he is the father due to fertility issues i have.)
My questions are:
*Do I put him on the BC? (I don't want his money) he claims he wants a DNA test anyway which I am willing to provide (he's from a mixed up family where only last year he found out his dad out of two potential fathers)
*What access is reasonable for a newborn baby? I'll be breastfeeding and I really have no idea what access to give him - he works Monday - Friday 9-5.
*What are the stages of court? I know he will not be happy with what I offer.
*What do I do about these false allegations? He's been an A hole recently but I'm not lowering myself to lie about him in court.
Sorry for the long post! I'd very much appreciate your answers and experiences!!
Many thanks
